Title: help
Post by: gary on May 25, 2006, 04:07:15 PM

Hello
Just downloaded the new version of mach3 with lcam, i,m using it on my newly built cnc lathe & am a newcomer to cnc work. I am able to import an autocad drawing in dxf & save in Gcode but when putting it in the auto screen the file is loaded vertical i,e it would be a facing profile rather than a turned spindle as drawn.
Also is there a part of lcam that will be able to work out the roughing cuts if the stock diameter is given.
thanks help Gary.

Gary Lcam can not do Lathe at this time :( It is one the list because Art needs to have it for his lathe  ;D
